Using Skills

Each supported agent has its own way of discovering and loading skills. Once you install Agent Skills in your project, activate the skill in your agent environment. The agent handles the rest.

What Happens Next

After you point your agent at the skill directory:

  1. The agent reads SKILL.md and understands when to apply the skill.
  2. It follows the rules and workflow described in the file.
  3. It loads optional references/ only when a specific task needs them.

You do not need to manually invoke the skill. The agent decides relevance based on the description field in SKILL.md.
